What if everything you thought about Christianity was backwards? In today’s explosive Galatians devotional, we’re tearing down religious lies and uncovering the raw, unfiltered gospel that Paul fought to defend.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

• The dangerous heresy that almost destroyed the early church (and still deceives believers today)
• Why Paul called out even Peter for compromising the gospel
• How religious rules betray the heart of Christianity
